Proponents have also claimed that adults may also show signs of sensory processing difficulties and would benefit for sensory processing therapies, [71] although this work has yet to distinguish between those with SPD symptoms alone vs adults whose processing abnormalities are associated with other disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder.
Dual sensory loss is the simultaneous loss of two senses. Research has shown that 6% of non-institutionalized older adults had a dual sensory impairment, and 70% of severely visually impaired older adults additionally suffered from significant hearing loss. [7] Vision and hearing loss both interfere with the interpretation and comprehension of ...
Agnosias are sensory modality specific, usually classified as visual, auditory, or tactile. [2] [3] Associative visual agnosia refers to a subtype of visual agnosia, which was labeled by Lissauer (1890), as an inability to connect the visual percept (mental representation of something being perceived through the senses) with its related semantic information stored in memory, such as, its name ...
Agnosia is a neurological disorder characterized by an inability to process sensory information. Often there is a loss of ability to recognize objects, persons, sounds , shapes, or smells while the specific sense is not defective nor is there any significant memory loss . [ 1 ]
Visual agnosia is an impairment in recognition of visually presented objects. It is not due to a deficit in vision (acuity, visual field, and scanning), language, memory, or intellect. [1]
Sensory overload has been found to be associated with other disorders and conditions such as: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) People with ADHD display hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli from a young age; this hypersensitivity often persists into adulthood.
Apperceptive agnosia is a neurological disorder characterized by failures in recognition due to a failure of perception.In contrast, associative agnosia is a type of agnosia where perception occurs but recognition still does not occur. [1]
The causes of nerve damage are grouped into categories including those due to paraneoplastic causes (neuropathy secondary to cancer), immune mediated, infectious, inherited or degenerative causes and those due to toxin exposure. In idiopathic sensory neuronopathy no cause is identified. Idiopathic causes account for about 50% of cases. [2]
